Part two of a two-part, season recap of posts. Today, I have special guest, economic expert Lawrence Craft with me. He’ll be reviewing the second season of Haruhi, purely on a technical basis. So thanks for joining us Mr. Craft.

I guess it’s safe to say that there’s not going to be any more new episodes of Haruhi this year. Love it or hate it, you have to admit that the second season of Haruhi Suzumiya was full of epic moments – in both good and bad ways. As part of a two part wrap-up [...]

Talking Shamisen

I’ve been waiting for talking Shamisen ever since I knew The Sigh of… was being animated. And the long-awaited return of talking Shamisen was only the beginning of what may be my favorite episode of the season.

…Is what I’d be saying if it actually was over. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. For a second, I thought I was KyoAni. Please don’t hate me. Their subliminal troll attacks were too much for me to bear. Subliminal troll attacks!

Nagato looks at Kyon
